Perhaps a unit that was never activated, never programmed, and sat in some kind of storage for ages until uncovered. Of course, at PL 4 it wouldn't really be a 'construct.' It would have to be built to imitate living things pretty closely. Few unusual immunities and so on. But that's all secondary to the concept.For a genetically engineered organism, my thought was that it was based on human genetics. It might even just be a clone of someone with some nips and tucks around the edges to enhance it. Either way, the idea is that the character is artificially made, not naturally born.-------As I think more about it, I'm drawn more to the pre-Fall idea. Some kind of high tech android that tests the boundary of what is and isn't 'alive.' Mind wise, it could have suffered damage or corruption that causes large blocs of memory and knowledge to be inaccessible (as possible plot hooks later) or can simply never have been prepared for activation, and was started up with only the most basic of operating protocols (how to move, how to speak, etc).No special resistance to damage or effects, I think. It even has needs analogous to eating, sleeping and drinking. I was thinking of giving it a Complication where conventional medical technology was not very effective on it, and giving it a low level of Regeneration...the complication kicks in for damage that isn't subject to regeneration, or situations when the regeneration is nullified.Just shotgunning ideas for now...what do you think of the overall concept though, Jemal? Before I get too attached. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />---Edit 2: Electric BoogalooHm. Then again, we already have a lot of intelligence-oriented concepts. Maybe someone who's focus is more physical would be wise.Though it could still work perhaaaaaaps...Argh. This is why I've been having so much trouble. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
